as far as art goes, I tend to agree with the above statement that what constitutes art is not important, but what makes GOOD art is. and as such, what makes art "good" is a subjective thing for the most part.
"beauty" is the most primal and personal criteria for what makes art. iS IT BEAUTIFUL?

ABSOLUTELY NOT. Is Night And Fog, or the "music" of Whitehouse beautiful? Some Art can/must! be abhorrent and sickening.
